ATLANTA — Quavo and The Rocket Foundation have launched an emergency trauma therapy fund in response to 29 shootings in Atlanta over the weekend, aiming to support affected youth and families.
The fund was established after two gun violence victims, Deshawn Johnson and Aaron Hines, who were directly connected to The Rocket Foundation, were fatally shot.
Deshawn Johnson was an 18-year-old who attended Rocket Camp in 2024, and Aaron Hines, known as Coach Ball, was a leader from the Offender Alumni Association.
The Rocket Foundation is calling on the community to join in donating towards therapy support for those impacted by these tragic shootings.

The fund aims to provide real-time support for the mental health needs of impacted families and youth, offering trauma expert therapeutic services and supporting grantee organizations that are leading community violence intervention efforts.
The Rocket Foundation’s initiative highlights the urgent need for community support in addressing the aftermath of gun violence, with a focus on healing and recovery through mental health resources.
